It's been a year since the Yacht-Master 42 in titanium has been released, and the watch continues to register the most value retention of all professional Rolex models currently in production, including the steel Daytona and GMT-Master II Pepsi.
Given the titanium Yacht-Master's retail price of $14,050 and market price of $34,276, the Rolex 226627 has a value retention of +144.0%, compared to +117.1% for the Panda Daytona. That's according to the latest data available from WatchCharts.
Last week, Roger Federer donned a Yacht-Master 42 in titanium with his three-piece suit — not a Daytona, as he is often seen with — to attend the première of a documentary about his final tournament, “Twelve Final Days.”
